在c#中随机化泛型列表顺序的最佳方法是什么?我在一个列表中有一个有限的75个数字集,我想随机分配一个顺序,以便为彩票类型的应用程序绘制它们。

这里是Fisher-Yates shuffle的实现,允许指定返回的元素数量;因此,在获取所需数量的元素之前,没有必要首先对整个集合进行排序。

交换元素的顺序与默认值相反;从第一个元素到最后一个元素,因此检索集合的一个子集与洗牌整个集合产生相同的(部分)序列:

collection.TakeRandom(5).SequenceEqual(collection.Shuffle().Take(5)); // true

该算法基于Durstenfeld在维基百科上的(现代)Fisher-Yates shuffle。

public static IList<T> TakeRandom<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, int count, Random random) => shuffle(collection, count, random);
public static IList<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> collection, Random random) => shuffle(collection, null, random);
private static IList<T> shuffle<T>(IEnumerable<T> collection, int? take, Random random)
{
    var a = collection.ToArray();
    var n = a.Length;
    if (take <= 0 || take > n) throw new ArgumentException("Invalid number of elements to return.");
    var end = take ?? n;
    for (int i = 0; i < end; i++)
    {
        var j = random.Next(i, n);
        (a[i], a[j]) = (a[j], a[i]);
    }

    if (take.HasValue) return new ArraySegment<T>(a, 0, take.Value);
    return a;
}

这里有一个线程安全的方法来做到这一点:

public static class EnumerableExtension
{
    private static Random globalRng = new Random();

    [ThreadStatic]
    private static Random _rng;

    private static Random rng 
    {
        get
        {
            if (_rng == null)
            {
                int seed;
                lock (globalRng)
                {
                    seed = globalRng.Next();
                }
                _rng = new Random(seed);
             }
             return _rng;
         }
    }

    public static IEnumerable<T> Shuffle<T>(this IEnumerable<T> items)
    {
        return items.OrderBy (i => rng.Next());
    }
}

只是想建议使用IComparer<T>和List.Sort()的变体:

public class RandomIntComparer : IComparer<int>
{
    private readonly Random _random = new Random();
    
    public int Compare(int x, int y)
    {
        return _random.Next(-1, 2);
    }
}

用法:

list.Sort(new RandomIntComparer());

我在网上找到了一个有趣的解决办法。

var shuffled = myList。OrderBy(x => Guid.NewGuid()).ToList();

I'm bit surprised by all the clunky versions of this simple algorithm here. Fisher-Yates (or Knuth shuffle) is bit tricky but very compact. Why is it tricky? Because your need to pay attention to whether your random number generator r(a,b) returns value where b is inclusive or exclusive. I've also edited Wikipedia description so people don't blindly follow pseudocode there and create hard to detect bugs. For .Net, Random.Next(a,b) returns number exclusive of b so without further ado, here's how it can be implemented in C#/.Net:

public static void Shuffle<T>(this IList<T> list, Random rnd)
{
    for(var i=list.Count; i > 0; i--)
        list.Swap(0, rnd.Next(0, i));
}

public static void Swap<T>(this IList<T> list, int i, int j)
{
    var temp = list[i];
    list[i] = list[j];
    list[j] = temp;
}

试试这段代码。

    public static List<T> Randomize<T>(List<T> list)
    {
        List<T> randomizedList = new List<T>();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (list.Count > 0)
        {
            int index = rnd.Next(0, list.Count); //pick a random item from the master list
            randomizedList.Add(list[index]); //place it at the end of the randomized list
            list.RemoveAt(index);
        }
        return randomizedList;
    }
